The Guardian reports that workers at the V&A's Storehouse facility in east London have voted to strike over inadequate breaks for restroom and water access. The union is demanding two paid breaks a day, describing their current schedule as punishing. This action is part of a broader labor dispute at V&A sites across London, where staff also voted to strike over pay, working conditions, and the museum's resistance to pursuing living wage accreditation.
